He loves me faithfully,
And I know where’er my love is, that he is true to me.
Lady Dufferin.
DOST THOU LOVE ME, SISTER RUTH?
A COMIC DUET.
The persons who present this recital should appear in Quaker costume and stand near each other, face to face. It can be made very amusing. The change from reciting to singing adds greatly to the effect. Sing the words in italics, and make appropriate gestures.
